Carlos Chalacan Obituary

Another year has gone by and your passing still hurts. You are forever engraved in my heart. Will always miss you. RIP

Querido Sobrino, ha pasado un año y el dolor de tu partida sigue en nuestros corazones. Te extrañamos mucho.

You left us way too early early. We are going to miss you. Many hugs to your family and friends.

I am saddened to hear that we lost a great Soldier and friend. He was professional and always took care of fellow Soldiers. Carlos was such a wonderful man and I am honored to have known and worked with him. He will be truly missed.

Apreciada Familia, a la distancia envío mi apoyo incondicional en estos duros momentos,en estás situaciones el único consuelo que nos queda son los recuerdos, esos gratos momentos que compartimos y la gran amistad que tracendio a pesar de la distancia. Solo nos queda la reflexión de aprovechar cada día y ser más cercanos con las personas que nos importan ya que nunca sabremos los planes que Dios tiene para cada uno de sus hijos. Un abrazo a la distancia

My condolences to the Chalacan family- Carlos was an asset and lived this: Cuando uno está ayudando a otro, ambos ganan fuerza.

I had the honor or serving with SFC Carlos Chalacan for several years. Getting to know him, I got to appreciate his professionalism, his teaching strategy, and his care and concern for Soldiers learning and doing their job correct the first time to take care of service members. His care for his family and those of the military made him stand out and professional. I thank God for the opportunity to learn and share with Carlos! Thank you for your service and friendship!

I wish I had known this hero. I pray that God puts a wall of protection around his family at this time.

RIP SFC Chalacan you were the standard and even a better dude. Often I think of you and the joy that always seemed to accompany you. I´m grateful for your short time of mentorship. Your attitude, kindness, and professionalism had an impact on me professionally and personally. This world will sorely miss you.

SFC Carlos Chalacan was always such a professional, thoughtful & kind man. I am so sorry for your terrible loss.

My deepest condolences to the Chalacan family! May the love of Christ, through family and friends, brings you comfort during this most difficult time. May the knowledge that he was loved and respected by so many brings you peace. Rest in peace Carlos!

I haven't seen him in many years but he was a hard working and always cheerful soul. So sorry to Chalacan's close friends and family.

My deepest condolences to the Chalacan family. Carlos will be truly missed by all who knew him. I will always remember him as a happy go lucky guy who had a smile whenever I saw him. RIP.

Si hubiese sabido que iba hacer el último abrazo no te hubiese soltado jamás, Te extrañare mucho Primo...

So incredibly heartbreaking to hear this news. My sincere condolences to his family and friends. I'm going to miss him, by far one of my favorite NCOs I've met, one of the best. Always had a smile on his face and taught me to not sweat the small stuff. Going to miss you brother.

Si hubiese sabido que era el último abrazo no te hubiese soltado!!! Te extrañaremos mucho primo!!!

My sincere condolences. Carlos was a dedicated soldier and a good man. Rest in peace, Carlos.

Te quiero mucho hermano gracias por querernos tanto. Te prometo que te voy a recordar como la persona que logro muchas cosas en la vida a la persona que fue valiente y que siguió adelante .
Te quiero muchísimo

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Carlos you were a great friend and mentor. I am truly going to miss all the random times we would run into each other while out. You were a special person to me and your memories will live on.

Thank you for everything,

Rest in peace brother

Lo siento mucho. Mis oraciones están con sus hijos, su mami, sus hermanas en Ecuador y el resto de su familia. Todavía no lo puedo creer. Hasta vernos con el Rey!

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to everyone that knew SFC Chalacan. When I met him, I could tell he was different and very dedicated to his fellow Soldiers. Thank you for your dedication.

I was so shocked to hear of your passing! Although your light no longer burns your memories will burn in our hearts and minds forever. It was an honor to have served and ridden with you! Fallen but not forgotten! We will always miss you! Enjoy riding the skyways of heaven! Rest in Peace my brotha! In the clouds, we will meet again... My condolences to the familia!

I send my deepest, heartfelt condolences to all your family, friends and fellow servicemembers.

You graced us with your presence and we were blessed by your time with us. For me personally, you're my friend, brother, mentor, and when I needed it most, hope. You saved my career. You helped me, you helped everyone. You never asked for anything in return, you just made sure we were all squared away. You were one of the truly best Soldiers and people I have ever met, and we are all better humans because of you.

When the time comes Godfather, we'll play another hand of spades. When that time comes, we'll go on another walk so you can share more of your knowledge and advice on how to treat people and self better. When that time comes, all of your family and brothers and sisters in arms will see you again, but not too soon. You are missed and loved by so many. Carlos, you may not be here, but you will never be gone.

Rest in peace and power, I love you bro.

Rest in power hermano

Your memory will forever shine in the hearts of all who knew you. Your love will guide us through this difficult journey and your laughter will forever ring in our ears.
With a heavy heart I bid you farewell. Till Valhalla

I'm stunned to learn of Carlos' passing.

I sincerely enjoyed his friendship, and extend my condolences to his family. Carlos served with honor and will be missed !
